Every great wardrobe is actually made of several mini wardrobes, clusters of essential pieces from the same category that work together to build a strong foundation. In this series, we’ll look at these collections and offer our picks. First up, three watches every woman should have in her jewelry box.

Oversized Link BandThe men’s-watch-for-women trend isn’t going anywhere (this writer is quite glad for that), and Michael Kors watches are, hands down, among the best in the bunch of metal-link timekeepers. Gold, silver, or rose gold, no wardrobe should be without one.

Utilitarian SportA necessity for active moments like a run through Central Park or simply to lend your look a sportif motif, a utilitarian, rugged watch will stand the test of time. Look to Nixon watches as well as RumbaTime and O’Clock watches.
